First off, I'd appreciate it if you tone down your method of rebuttal. I
was discussing about music, not insulting your mother. "That's a bit of a
generalisation..." "Your comments sound like..." My comments are my
comments. Did you want me to say something that would make you happy?
Anyway, back to the discussion. Whistling and humming are everyone's
musical instrument. Not everyone can sing, not everyone can play a trumpet,
not everyone can mix and beat-match, but everyone can whistle and hum
something from memory...from memory...a melodic statement that is
*memorable*. Get what I'm trying to say? And what about jazz and classical
music? People whistle and hum Mozart all the time. Folks walk out of jazz
clubs humming the heads of their favorite jazz tune played by the band that
night. It happens in all forms of music...or at least it should.
